This period promised to put an end to society’s ills through logical thought. In many ways the period did…
shared 50-50 between the Presidency and the Congress is a fallacy. Foreign policy involves various players, the executive arm, and the Congress being the major policy contributors (Hastedt 169).However, the Presidency has several key arms that provide a superior advantage. Considering that the Presidency is established on a purely political process, the Congress somehow becomes divisive on matters relating to foreign policy, always leaning on one side, in this case, the Presidency.

Before George W. Bush had become president, he was the governor of Texas. Bush promoted “compassionate conservatism” and tried to dissociate the anti-immigrant rhetoric of the 1990 's from the Republican Party. Bush quickly began implementing a conservative agenda after his narrow margin of victory. In 2001, Bush pressed Congress to pass the largest tax cut in U.S. history.
